Hero or Traitor: The Fate of Mehmed-pasha Atlagić, the Last Ottoman Defender of Knin and a Venetian Captive
Fazileta Hafizović
Sažetak
In the turbulent late 17th century, when the Ottoman state started to decline and lost a considerable part of its European possessions, the period of great wars ended with a peace treaty between the Ottoman Empire, Austria, and the Venetian Republic, signed in 1699 at Sremski Karlovci. The agreement was followed by the settling of borders and a result of this land division in the western and south-western areas of the Bosnian eyelet was an Ottoman list (1701) of all territories occupied by the Venetians that were to be returned to the Ottomans according to the said treaty. The list contains exceptionally valuable data, including notes on numerous Ottoman captives who mostly ended as rowers on the Venetian galleys. One of the most distinguished Ottoman officials at the time, Mehmed-pasha Atlagić, was the most important Venetian captive, which he remained until his death. There are several theories on his fate, mostly incorrect, and the data analysed here shed a new light on the topic.
